Customize a Category
In WordPress, go to Messages and Categories. You can change the name, description and parent category. Please check carefully to see if you also want to change the slug.
Reclassify Messages
Move messages by changing their categories. You can select multiple messages and use the bulk operation. Check the outcome on the website.
Delete a category
First check which messages and navigation links use the category. Removing a category does not delete the messages, but can change the format and archive route.
Keep your structure stable
Don't create a new category for each single topic. Changed URLs may require redirects. Check archive pages & internal links after you adjust the format.
